Potential drivers of variation in soil multi-nutrient cycling in reforested ecosystems. a Random forest (RF) mean predictor importance (percentage of increase of mean square error) of microbial alpha- and beta-diversity indices as drivers for the soil multi-nutrient cycling index, in the whole profile, and superficial and deep layers separately. b RF mean predictor importance (percentage of increase of mean square error) of dominant phyla (> 5% of total community) as drivers for soil properties in the whole profile. The accuracy importance measure was computed for each tree and averaged over the forest (5000 trees). Percentage increases in the MSE (mean squared error) of variables were used to estimate the importance of these predictors, and higher MSE% values imply more important predictors. Significance levels are as follows: *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01. MSE, mean squared error
